Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Although health is the main impetus behind this collection, strangely, there's no mention of studies this past summer (reported in the New York Times) showing that a diet including soy protein (according to one, a mere 47 grams or less than two ounces per day) can significantly lower cholesterol. Chef and cooking teacher Robertson has organized her recipes for tofu, tempeh, seitan and TVP (texturized vegetable protein) into chapters on soups and stews, pasta dishes, appetizers, main dish salads, one-dish meals (not to be confused with another section on "Casseroles, Gratins, and Risottos"), burgers and a catch-all called "Under Wraps, Stuffed and Skewered" Best sections are "Sauteed, Seared, and Grilled" with recipes like Ginger-marinated Seitan or Lemon Tofu with Almond-Mint Pesto, and "Stir-Fries" with Shiitake-Tofu Stir-Fry. Less convincing are those dishes that try to hard to imitate meat standbys (Seitan Pot Roast) or Cassoulet, made with seitan and poached tempeh. Recipes for desserts, a course in which tofu can be made truly delicious, are sorely missed. Because many people have ignored meat substitutes, which have been around since the early '70s, Robertson's scanty introductory materials also seem to be a lost opportunity.

Not Quite,

This review is from: 365 Healthy Ways To Cook Tofu And Other Meat Alternatives (Mass Market Paperback)
I was enthused about this book when I bought it, and have been pleased with how the recipes I tried turned out. However, I have to take issue with the use of the word "Healthful" in the title, because some of the dishes contain too much oil and other fats to be considered healthful in my book. I still managed to get good results while using less oil, etc. than the recipes suggest. The recipes are good, but if you are watching your fat intake, be forewarned.

This review is from: 365 Healthy Ways To Cook Tofu And Other Meat Alternatives (Mass Market Paperback)
I have a lot of vegetarian cookbooks but recipe for recipe this one never fails to succeed. The ingredients are simple, the instructions straightforward and the results can't be beat. The author primarily uses tofu, seitan, tempeh and lots of other recipes that use beans, pasta, etc. She has a chapter on one pot meals which is great when you want to keep things simple. The only thing I don't like about this book is the title. The recipes are so outstanding that this is really a gourmet book but you'd never know it from the title!

Cookbook collector,

This review is from: 365 Healthy Ways To Cook Tofu And Other Meat Alternatives (Mass Market Paperback)
The title of this book is somewhat misleading, there aren't 365 tofu recipes in the book. While there are some very tasty tofu recipes, there are just as many recipes that use tempeh and seitan.
